How do we know faith in Christ is essential for eternal life?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is essential because knowing Him is equated to having eternal life as stated in John 17:3.

The importance of faith in Christ is framed by the declaration in John 17:3, which articulates that eternal life is defined as knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. This relationship with Christ is the essential aspect of salvation; mere moral behavior or religious devotion cannot substitute for a personal faith in Him. The sermon emphasizes that true knowledge of Christ brings peace and assurance, contrasting it with the bleakness of remaining alienated from God, underscoring that without faith, individuals remain in a desperate condition away from the life that Jesus provides.
